A contribution to social history, The Elizabethan Renaissance portrays the life of each class from the Court downwards - nobles, gentry, the middle class, country folk - and their mentality, conscious or unconscious, to which their way of life gave rise, with its folklore and beliefs, customs and sport.

A. L. Rowse, who died in 1997, was an historian and man of letters, poet, biographer, and essayist. He explored the British experience in more than twenty books, including major biographies of Shakespeare and Marlowe. He is also the author of The Elizabethan Renaissance: The Cultural Achievement.
Everything you always wanted to know about Elizabethan England but were afraid to ask...a thorough snapshot of the time. (Library Journal)
Rowse makes dry bones not only live, but dance.... It is delightful that so exalted a historian should also accept human nature so happily. (Rebecca West)
The Elizabethan Renaissance is created in such brilliant color and clarity that the reader can never forget it. (Irving Stone)
So tightly packed with fascinating facts and fresh material that anyone at all seriously interested in Elizabethan England should delight in it. (The New York Times)
